PowerCommand® 40-02/12
Transfer Switch Control
GTEC Transfer Switches

DESCRIPTION
The PowerCommand® 40-02/12 Transfer Switch
Control is a sophisticated microprocessor-based
control with the basic features you need for primary
source and generator set monitoring, generator set
starting and load transfer functions for emergency
standby power applications. The control features a
highly customizable customer inputs/outputs which
can be tailored to suit a wide range of application
requirements.
The control human machine interface (HMI) includes
a LCD display with tactile-feel soft-switches for easy
operation and screen navigation. All data on the control can be viewed by scrolling through screens
with the display scroll button. The control displays the current active fault, fault occurrences and time-
ordered history of the 10 previous faults with respect to Real Time Clock Stamp and Engine Running
Time.
